Description
When you need to connect or repair a chain on your farm equipment, a cold shut is the simplest way to get the job done. This handy little connector slips over the ends of your chain links and gets crimped or bent closed to make a solid connection. Whether you’re fixing a broken chain on your hay elevator, connecting two lengths together for a longer run, or making repairs to implement chains, this 3/16 inch cold shut will handle the task without any welding or special tools.
What You’re Getting
- Mild steel construction that’s strong enough for general farm use
- Zinc-plated finish resists rust and corrosion from weather and chemicals
- 400-pound working load limit gives you peace of mind for most farm applications
- Simple installation—no heat, welding, or complicated procedures needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This cold shut works on most chains you’ll find around the farm, from conveyor chains on grain elevators to attachment chains on implements. It’s sized for 3/16 inch chain, but remember the old rule—use one size larger than your chain diameter for maximum safety and holding power. You’ll find these connectors useful on everything from small utility chains to medium-duty equipment connections.
Made to Last
The mild steel construction gives you the strength you need, while the zinc plating helps it stand up to the elements. Farm work is hard on hardware, and this cold shut is built to handle the moisture, chemicals, and general abuse that comes with agricultural use.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward—slide the cold shut over your chain ends and use pliers or a vise to crimp it closed. Make sure you get a good, tight crimp for maximum holding power. Keep a few extra cold shuts in your shop—they’re one of those simple parts that can save the day when a chain breaks at the worst possible time.
